SENSOR MODULE HAVING AN ENVIRONMENT SENSOR AND A COOLING DEVICE

Abstract: a sensor module having a sensor viewing area, an environment sensor, which is configured for charting a vehicle environment through the sensor viewing area, and a cooling element having a cooling component, the cooling component being configured to dissipate waste heat generated by the environment sensor and/or environment heat supplied to the sensor module from the exterior of the sensor module from the sensor module and/or from the environment sensor, the environment sensor being disposed on the sensor module so as to be movable between a retracted position and an extracted position, wherein the cooling component has a first component part and a second component part, the first component part being movable in such a manner with respect to the second component part that the cooling component provides a smaller cooling surface and/or a smaller cooling volume in the retracted position than in the extracted position.
